Worth Repeating?

Is anything worth repeating

If it falls on deaf ears?

 

Complaining of all the violent

Gun deaths in recent years

 

With all the coverage, sobbing and

Shouting we know congress hears

 

Bought off and stymied as

Soon as that NRA check clears

 

If only there was oil

under those kids feet

 

Could have sent in the army

Find the alleged terrorist to retreat

 

They say the problem is too big

Something they can not defeat

 

Probably cause they’re busy counting

Money in their accounts so repleat

 

 

Brace yourself the script is set

It will not be about the gun

 

Rather the mental health

Of those in the nation

 

Will get the same lip service

And nothing will get done

 

Maybe cause everyone’s

Wound up, not having any fun

 

People want the violence to stop

That is the reality

 

What about the perpetrator who is

Scheduled to get the death penalty

 

Oops there I go again

Always thinking of the duality

 

If I was a real writer then this

Would be a poem in actuality
